Today over ninety students, along with staff from St Anthony's participated in the Western Region Tahmoor Soccer Gala Day. St Anthony’s had the pleasure of coordinating the carnival and I would like to acknowledge Miss Paroz, Mrs Godden, Miss Conti, Mrs O’Brien and Miss McCoskery for their support in facilitating a wonderful day.

The clear focus of a gala day is inclusion and enjoyment. The children's participation and understanding that we were not playing for sheep stations allowed for our teams and the teams from other schools to have a really enjoyable day. In the words of one of the Year three students, “best day ever”. 

A special mention must go to the St Anthony’s teams who played against the Mater Dei School soccer teams. The children displayed a true sense of good character and wonderful sportsmanship. Some special moments were witnessed by the crowd of spectators.

At St Anthony’s we are truly blessed to have such dedicated teachers and very supportive parents who provide the opportunity for all children in Years Three to Six to participate in a range of sporting activities. As stated, the focus is about inclusion and participation for all children.
